A crazy detail left out from Mary and Darnley’s marriage is that Darnley murdered the aforementioned David Rizzio right in front of Mary during a meal, suspecting that she was pregnant with David’s child. This murder directly led to his downfall and later death at Kirk o’field.

Yes. Yet another crazier detail is still left out from your add on. Lord Darnley was ACTUALLY the one sleeping with David Rizzio, not Mary. And, James, her son, looked just like his father, Lord Darnley. Just J U S T like him! So, he was wrong, and i believe he knew far better

Along with all the illegitimate half-siblings, Mary actually had two legitimate older brothers who died as young children. If even one of them had lived, her life might have gone very differently.

Also, I believe she was innocent -a figurehead of rebellions that weren't of her making. Also also, her last request was to have her body sent back to France and interred beside that of her first husband, who was the only one of the three who had actually loved her. Elizabeth refused.

Mary always struck me as being that one friend we all have who is reasonable and intelligent in most things but has self-destructively terrible taste in men.

Mary is one of my favourite figues throughout history.

Mary was a pawn for power hungry men. She was setup for failure by her brothers and by Bothwell. Her marriage to Bothwell was likely forced and she had been raped. I have written a novel about Mary, Queen of Scots where she is interviewed by a time traveling historian. He ultimately falls in love with her and vows to save her from the axe... which he ultimately does. Mary was rescued and moved to a convent in France where she lived another 50 years. One day I hope to finish it and get it properly published.

She's my direct ancestor a few times over on several different limbs. My husband's as well. Turns out, most of us are directly decended from all the royal and noble families of the world, no matter your race. Alot of Europeans died out during famine and sickness, so it makes since that those better off would have better health, thus surviving. 😊

Hello, There!! I've been a faithful follower for some years now. I love your channel, and I think you should make a segment about Mary Jeanette Kelly, the last known victim of Jack The Ripper. Little is known about this woman, except that she was an immigrant, and that she was married at some point, and that she was extremely beautiful. I hope you take my request into account. May The Force be with You. Best, Marco.

3:28 This is as complicated as the first time I saw the Arrested Development intro.

Lets do one comparing the show Reign vs the real facts about Mary's demise..

Yay!!

Back then there was a severe name shortage, hence all the same names. 😂

“Mary, Mary quite contrary how does your garden grow? With cockle shells and silver bells and pretty maids all in a row.” The garden refers to growing cemeteries, as she filled them with Protestants. Silver bells and cockle shells were instruments of torture and the maiden was a device used to behead people. This saying was applicable to either Mary Queen of Scott’s or Mary Tudor the Catholic Queen of England.

She is a distant relative. Very interesting.

"Weird History All Star" was a solid throw away joke.

Another detail that was missed was the fact that Mary was more or less held captive by Bothwell & she married him under duress. She hated him.

4:56 Mary QOS was the "eldest surviving descendant of Henry VII and Margaret Tudor - Royal couple"? You sure?

Just like Marie Antoinette she "lost her head 🗣️"

Didn't Bothwell force Mary into the marriage?

I’m just grateful that I’m not royalty

Owen Tudor ?? John of Gaunt.

Mary was a tragic queen.

There's SOMETHING about Mary...like Marie Antoinette she lost her head...literally

Bloody Mary?

Excellent question, but no. Bloody Mary was Mary I of England and Ireland. She was the Queen immediately prior to Elizabeth I.

Wish I had a name to go with the voice

It’s so difficult to tell what the true character of powerful women figures were, since sooooo much of recorded history was written from the male perspective. Mary Queen of Scots was probably very anti-English, as there were divisions in Wales and Scotland that made relations with England tenuous at best. Given that she was relaxed about having Protestant relatives at court, her resistance to the throne was likely purely anti-English sentiment. Of course, being crowned as a baby probably made her susceptible to the ethics and politics of her advisory from an early age. She likely wanted to carry out her father’s wishes politically, continuing a stronger relationship with France. France was literally always knocking down English sovereignty, any chance they could get, especially during and after King Henry the VIII. I suspect the rivalry between Mary of Scotland and Elizabeth I, was a continuation of deep-rooted rivalry between their daddy’s. Daddy isssues and power = plenty of baskets with heads in them 😊

i dont thin, she was backstabbing, she just tried to find her place in society , in the world and she could not ever be sure, where that was.

Funny how I made a video on these facts months ago lol. Very odd coincidence

WHAT?

Mary Stuart was the rightful Queen of England.

Did she marry 3 times

Is it just or if you are born to the European royal family and named Mary or any name similar like Marie or Maria you are doomed.

Apparently she's my 15th great grandaunt because my grandmother is a Stewart. We've traced our family back, it's crazyyyy.

None of these jokes would have worked with the other narrator.

So, British “Royalty” has always been weird… stranger than a soap opera even 😮 So King Charles is “normal”.

There's no evidence that Mary Mary is about anything other than gardening.

I hear you using the words "Lady" Fleming @3:42 but are we historically certain that's not a man, man?
